Peter Benner, Jonas Denißen, Patrick Kürschner and Jens Saak attend the workshop within the DAAD project Optimal Damping of Vibrating Systems in Osijek (Croatia). The workshop is supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), Zeidler-Forschungs-Stiftung and the department of mathematics, J. J. Strossmayer University of Osijek.

The GAMM ANLA / MSIP workshop was coorganized by Peter Benner and brought together people from the communities of sparse recovery and matrix computations. The CSC group was represented by Ulrike Baur, Jonas Denissen, and Jan Heiland.

The Zeidler-Forschungs-Stiftung supports the project "Optimal damping of vibrating systems" by a 50.000 Euro grant. Project partner of the Max Planck Institute is the J. J. Strossmayer University in Osijek (Croatia).

On this years Elgersburg Workshop the Computational Methods in Systems and Control Theory is presenting three talks by P. Benner, M. Redmann and M.Voigt. Additionally, U. Baur, T. Breiten, J. Denißen and J. Saak are participating.
